This new transit-oriented development, focused around Central Avenue in the heart of the county, will bring new jobs, businesses, walkable communities, and other desirable amenities to residents of the county.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In April, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced that lawmakers had secured $2.5 billion in aid for development around the county, the state&#8217;s largest-ever investment for Prince George&#8217;s County in a single legislative session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Included in this sum is a $400 million investment to fuel development in the central part of the county along Metro&#8217;s Blue Line, an area dubbed the &#8220;Blue Line Corridor,&#8221; which includes FedEx Field, the longtime home of Washington&#8217;s NFL team, the Commanders. The funds are slated to help fund a new library, cultural center, and amphitheater as part of a new sports and entertainment district. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, who introduced this vision for the future of the county last summer, remains confident that the development will move forward, regardless of the Commanders&#8217; decision. Creating a vibrant, liveable community remains a top priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wusa9.com\/article\/news\/investigations\/commanders-stadium\/washington-commanders-stadium-prince-georges-county-blue-line-corridor-redevelopment\/65-a7698261-8894-47b2-a549-1a5e98f02a75\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In an interview with WUSA-9<\/a>, she stated, \u201cBecause we have lacked those amenities, our residents have had to go elsewhere to shop, to eat, to get medical care, to work.
